plus folks, keep in mind throughout the film the joker's make-up is constantly in the state of flux..... When he gets wet the make-up bleeds all over giving him a more sinister look..... when he gets tossed around by Batman his make-up also takes a beating. And I totally agree with Joker.... in the darkness the details won't come through as much as the evil clown face will.

yep, you did get the idea across..... and yeah, it does look like if someone got in between any of that plating he'd be in a world of hurt..... he should spray the whole thing black like he did in Batman Begins.

the last one was a NOMAD SURVIVAL suit i think they had called it. and it looked like it could be bullet proof, this suit looks like cloth and could be penetrated with a butter knife. the Joker looks so sweet tho

yeah, the last batsuit I know Bale had difficulty turning his head, he kinda had to twist his whole upper torso to look to the side. Now with the new suit I believe he can look right & left just with a turn of his head....

The Joker looks awesome. This new batsuit is just f*cking terrible. The cowl is alright but the neck looks really thin and makes him look like a bobblehead. This whole military sh*t sucks too. Its cool that his stuff was originally designed for military use but get rid of the look for f*cks sake. He's not supposed to look like ROBOBAT.

they are just pictures lets all relax, i think they look cool with the white backround, the suit changed like in batman returns he got a more armour looking suit, which looked better than in the first, this one is also pretty cool

well the reason these and those 19 pictures released look so bright is because they did get released earlier than they should have. none of the effects have been added yet or anything. thats also the reason the jokers face doesnt look cut or anything. these are bootleg. theonly officially released photos are the ones present on batman-on-film.com and empire.com. everything else was bootleg. the joker definitely looks great tho

Is it just me, or does the joker not look as dark as when we first saw him, as in my avatar. Looking at recent pictures including these ones the sides of his face doesn't seem to be cut as much, hope their not toning it down for the sake of a pg-13 rating?

i think batmans suit is great.very KNight looking.it's just the bright lighting..im sure its gonna look awsome once we see it on film...The Joker looks sick!!..nice job NOlan!.THATS THE JOKER PEOPLE!!.. ive loved the joker all my life and i have to say they got the look down..but i still would of wanted to see these shots much later with full background and effect..too soon i think..

The Joker looks f*cking AMAZING! I am SO glad they've completed his facial look with the trademark purple and green color scheme for wardrobe. Even before seeing Ledger's performance I can tell he's going to fit perfectly into Christopher Nolan's world of The Dark Knight! The only issue I have with these photos is Batman's new armour. Hope this is a specialty suit used once and not what he'll be wearing for the entire film. It smacks slightly of Val Kilmer. Keep it in the shadows and it'll look better. Still...I totally trust Nolan.
